ANTON P. MAZINSKI, OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY.

NON-REFILLABLE BOTTLE.

roeaooe.

To all whom it may 007t0677't.

Be it known that I, ANTON P. Mnzmskr, a subject of the Russian Emperor,residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inNon-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to non-refillable bottles of the kindshown in my application filed June 20, 1913, and bearing Serial No.774,743.

In the accompanying drawing, in which similar reference charactersdenote corresponding parts Figure 1 is a vertical section of the neckportion of my new bottle; Fig. 2 an elevation of a detail of my newdevice; Fig. 3 a cross section on line 33 of Fig. 1 and Fig. i avertical section of another detail part of my device.

a denotes a bottle having a neck a. After the bottle is filled with theliquid it is to contain, my new device is inserted to render the samenon-refillable. This device consists of a cylindrical glass casing Z)which is closed at its top Z) and open at its bottom 6 The lower end ofsaid casing is provided with a circular flange b the outer circumferenceof which is adapted to snugly fit in the lower portion of the neck a.The outer diameter of the casing Z) is somewhat smaller than the innerdiameter of the neck and at 52* is provided in its circumference withperforations or passages Z). Snugly fitting in the lower portion of thecasing 79' is a tubular glass body 0, which is open at both ends andwhich at its upper end is controlled by a suitable valve 9 hereinaftermore fully described. The tubular body 0 is thickened at its lower endand has oppositely arranged notches 0. Spring actuated plugs cl freelymounted in said notches are adapted to engage notches 0 provided in theinner surface of the neck a. The plugs are adapted to project throughperforations provided in the lower end of the casing b opposite thenotches 0 and 0. By means of these plugs (Z and notches e, 0' and Z) thecasing Z) and body 0 become automatically locked in the neck a when thecasing Z) is slipped into the neck. To insure a perfectly tight closurebetween the casing Z) and neck a a packing ring or sleeve f ofSpecification of Letters Patent.

Serial No. 787,475.

cork or other suitable material may be fitted around the casing belowthe flange 6 This packing ring or sleeve is perforated at f to allow ofthe passage of the plugs.

The heretofore referred to valve 9 may be either a gravity valve or aspring actuated valve as shown. It consists of a non-buoyant block it ofporcelain or glass, which is tiltably secured to the tubular body 0, as,for instance by means of a hinge ]oint 2'. If actuated by the spring thelatter may be arranged on top of the block it between the block and aprojection 0 of the latter, or at any suitable place and in any othersuitable manner. lVhen a spring is used the latter must be weak so thatwhen the bottle is tilted onto its side or upside down the heavy blockassisted by the pres sure of the liquid Will overcome the springpressure. The spring is merely an auxiliary means to insure the promptclosure of the block, when the bottle is tilted back into its uprightposition.

The device as described thus far would not completely prevent thefilling of the bottle, since, when pressure is applied from the outsidethe heavy block it, owing to its inertia may not return into closedposition as rapidly as necessary to prevent the passage of some liquidinto the bottle. To avoid this I provide an auxiliary valvte mechanism,which I arrange in the upper portion of the casing b. This auxiliarymechanism comprises a tubular glass body 70 open at both ends and havinga threaded flange k at its bottom, which is adapted to be screwed intothe threaded portion 6 of the casing. Above that flange the body 7r hasperipheral openings 73 and 011 top it is closed by a centrallyperforated lid 70, which may be removably secured to the body 70 eitherby screw threads, as shown, or in any other suitable manner. Looselyfitted in said tube 72 is a disk or block Z of light material, as corkor the like, which by the exertion of slight pressure from the outside,as by blowin will be rapidly thrown onto its seat 70 in the tube 7cclosing the latter and preventing the passage of any liquid. The mouthof the neck maybe closed by a cork m.

Since various modifications may be made in the construction of my devicewithout deconnected to the said tube and the other comprising aperipherally perforated tube forming an annular passage between itself15 and said casing and a buoyant body in said tube.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
